====== Games - Quake - Setup a local QuakeJS server - Create a QuakeJS service ======

====== Install daemonize ======

Used in the init.d script.

<code bash>
sudo apt install daemonize
</code>

----

====== Create the Service Script ======

Copy the service script to where it goes:

<code bash>
sudo cp ~/quakejs/init.d/quakejs /etc/init.d/quakejs
</code>

----

====== Edit the startup script ======

Edit the /etc/init.d/quakejs file, change:

<file bash /etc/init.d/quakejs>
daemonize -v -p /var/run/$prog.pid -c /home/quake/quakejs -u quake /usr/bin/node build/ioq3ded.js +set fs_game baseq3 set dedicated 1 +exec server.cfg
</file>

to

<file bash /etc/init.d/quakejs>
daemonize -v -p /var/run/$prog.pid -c /root/quakejs /usr/bin/node build/ioq3ded.js +set fs_game baseq3 set dedicated 1 +exec server.cfg
</file>

<WRAP info>
**NOTE:**  This setup has Quake running in a Container, so no need to have a separate user account.  

  * Therefore changing this to root.
</WRAP>

====== Enable the Service Script ======

<code bash>
sudo update-rc.d quakejs defaults
</code>

----

====== Complete ======

Whenever your Quake server boots up it will automatically start the QuakeJS game server and Apache2 webserver.

When a computer visits http://192.168.1.137/ they will automatically download the files they need from http://192.168.1.137/assets/ and then connect to the QuakeJS server at http://192.168.1.137:27960.

Have people point their browsers to http://192.168.1.137/ and enjoy!


<WRAP info>
**NOTE:**  Instead of **http://192.168.1.137/ ** in the above, a DNS could be configured with a nicer name.
</WRAP>


====== Test ======

<code bash>
sudo systemctl start quakejs
systemctl status quakejs
</code>

<WRAP info>
**NOTE:** Now try to connect to the server.
